    This is a lot more grim compared to Kapangyarihan. It's about violence against women and the revenge plot that's brewing all throughout. But like with Kapangyarihan, it tells us this one true thing: ACAB. The ending was inevitable. Also I think the author either knows someone who was incarcerated or he did really extensive research, because it's impressive that he knows the vocabulary in and around PDLs.

    I bought this book two days ago and even though I've been extremely busy with work, I practically inhaled this and got to finish reading it today. There aren't enough words to describe how scathing this book is. It doesn't flinch from the harsh realities that many ordinary Filipinos face, nor does it sugarcoat police brutality. On the contrary: it holds a mirror to those truths. The prose flows well and painted vivid imagery without trying too hard. It made me feel like a Lino Brocka/Mike De Leon movie was unfolding before my eyes.

    I feel like this is the dark timeline in which I end up with one of my exes who had severe mommy issues. Glad I was rid of that! (Also glad this book made my parent issues seem coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb)
